Green Light Mindset: Navigating Business Success Beyond Red Light Obstacles
Practical strategies to overcome obstacles, achieve resilience and success, and drive forward with optimism.
When was the last time you drove someplace without hitting any red lights? My guess is you can’t recall, but that’s not necessarily because it never happened.
In the chaotic world of business, where constant distractions and the relentless pursuit of success consume our thoughts and actions, it is all too easy to fixate on the roadblocks that hinder our progress while overlooking the countless opportunities that pave our way.
This phenomenon, which I refer to as the ‘Red Light Mindset,’ mirrors our inherent human tendency to fixate on the red lights while driving while failing to acknowledge and appreciate the continuous stream of green lights that grace our journey.
The Red Light Mindset typically also includes a good amount of swearing.
Although the anxiety from this stress is bad enough, what’s worse is the missed recognition of green lights. You see, in real life, these ignored green lights are the small victories, the steady progress, and the everyday wins that propel us forward.
